Maybe this will help.
When I'm in my update form, there are check boxes and fill in boxes:
See "Checkbox.jpg" attachment
When you are viewing the page normally, it pulls the data from the database.
The box you've checked is showing as an "X"
See "display.jpg" Attachment...
What I wanted to do.. Instead of having the X show,, is there a way I can make it so it displays a check mark instead?
